How does Aliro work with Matter?

Aliro specifies the secured use of your mobile phone or wearable in place of a key at the opening. Matter specifies how connected products communicate with each other for a wide variety of command-and-control-related smart home use cases. Aliro and Matter are complementary standards that do not rely upon each other. Readers and devices may support just one or both protocols.
